- What they did
- The Manus agent runs daily in the background. It mines data from target avatar locations, segments findings into angles, concepts, failures and awareness maps, scrapes competitors’ ad libraries for text and headlines, benchmarks against the mined data to spot underserved areas, compiles a master report and posts it to Slack. The user sets up the automation and receives the reports.
- How it went
- It automates research and idea delivery to creative strategists, increasing their output. No specific metrics or limitations are stated.
